"(...) offers the first comprehensive critical study of the intimate relationship between dance and performance art and the new media technologies in contemporary culture. Richly illustrated and composed, the book interweaves Birringer's recollections of his own work with commentary on contemporary artists in the visual and performance media, from Nam June Paik to Laurie Anderson and Madonna. At a time when the new arts are being accepted and adopted by mainstream institutions, Birringer reclaims performance as process and movement, as political commitment to social activism and community, as aesthetic intervention into technological and economic structures of domination, and as anarchist disturbance of aesthetic pretentions."--P.[4] de la couv.
